Iron Blood Conquers Expansion 562

Chapter 562 - Chapter 562 the Third Legend-16

Mayor's office in the morning.
The basement was doing paperwork.
I was a little tired, but today I had a lot of pre- and post-processing and detailed work.

Click.

The door to the next room opened, and Pyran cautiously poked his head out.
A sleepy and tired face, all she wore was an underground coat.

"Excuse me..."
"Get some more rest."
"... Okay."

Pyran swallowed his words and nodded his head. When he was about to shut the door for real, he said lightly, "Underground."

"What did you mean?"
"I tried to go out, but I didn't have any clothes."
"I'll give you clothes, so I'm just resting in that room today."
"Huh. Rest too."

Pyran said that and closed the door.
Ji-ha smiled bitterly at the eyes that stared at him even when the door was closed, and the odd eye that was nailed to his face until the end.

'One true loyalty is strong...'

If Mayan's loyalty was to serve the superior as a maid, Pyran's loyalty was to serve the lord as a soldier who gave his life.
If it was a Mayan, there would be a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Pyran was the type to ask for a specific method when he was ordered to commit suicide.
It is worth the long time spent.

While Jiha was satisfied, he thought about the next situation.

'The pirate empress said that the information she gave as she left, that the four artificial uniques and quadruples created by Epic were aiming for Iroha. They move in a team of two, at least on a unique level. If it's not unique, I won't be able to compete... Irohaya is locked in headquarters, so he won't be able to use his hands right away, but there are no uniques in Warris right now. Should I just get Iroha out of Warris at this point?'

Warris is too close to purple.

'But if I make Iroha's living quarters obscure, my information power will be halved...'

Iroha was gathering information from various places through her connections he had cultivated for hundreds of years.
Up until now, Purple hadn't publicly searched for Iroha's true identity, the Gray Elf, so it was passed on, but the story will be different from now on.
Those who collect information must be prepared to expose their own information as well.

Somebody will find out that the informant Iroha has raised is the person to whom he gives information, and in the end, it is Iroha Deadheart, the gray elf Purple is looking for.

'No, since the Quadruple is already in Waris, I should assume that Iroha's whereabouts have been found. So should I go back to Warris to search for Quadruple and kill him? While I'm on my way, I'll take care of some chores...'

As the basement concluded, the door suddenly burst open.

"Excuse me!"
"..."

Ji-ha was surprised to see the opponent who blindly entered his residence.
It was Suin the dog and Mayan the maid.
It should be in Warris, but I was going to use it as teleport coordinates?

"Why are you here?"
"Ah, Mr. Underground! You were here too! You don't know how surprised I was when I heard the story from Narsha-nim when I just arrived."

Mayan said, her breath caught in her chin.
It is a story that he did not come to know that there was a basement, but came for another business.
Warris and Lingard are not just a distance, even on horseback.

"You, I told you to protect Sirel, did you throw it away now?"
"Oh, no."

While taming Mayan, Jiha ordered the investigation and protection of Shirel.
Mayan hurriedly said Miju Algojual.

"I came after hearing what Iroha said. And Syrel-nim, Iroha-nim decided to look after me while I was away!"
"Is it Iroha?"
“You told me that you have been given the authority to move the troops to Mr. Jiha. Isn't it?”

Mayan asked curiously.
It's not that the liver has come out of the ship, and no one in the Red Union would dare to pretend to be an underground command.
There was a time when Iroha had asked for command of some units with the Uniques in the Lingard area.

Underground allowed.

"Okay, so why did you come here?"
"This is an urgent messenger. Here you are."

Mayan took out a letter from her bosom and offered it.
Jiha was about to open the envelope, but when she noticed that Mayan was looking around here and there with a thrilled face, she asked

"Why are you wagging your tail like that?"
"Yes, I will see you soon, my lady. Are you all right, young lady?"

It refers to Enlil, the maiden served by Mayan.

"It's been a while since I've seen it."
"Is that so? I'll be back soon, so let's have a meal together."
"Do you have an obsession that me and Enlil have dinner together?"
"Yes."

To her joking remark, Mayan answered seriously.

"The lady and Mr. Jiha are having dinner together, and I'm assisting in that position..."
"Who am I?"
"Underground ni..."

Mayan's face turned bright red as he spoke.
She didn't even know there was an underground in Lingard, but when she heard the story, she came to see it without hesitation.
Like a dog barking frantically while wagging her tail in excitement when she sees her master whom she has not seen in a long time.

However, as reason gradually returns, the memory of being embraced by her underground comes to mind.

"Who am I, Mayan?"
"... Lord, you are the master."

She was at a loss as Mayan stuttered her words. Ji-ha smiled and opened her letter as she looked at her puppies, her puppies tail, and her flustered face.



Emergency.
Prediction against Warris.
Things Epic has grown. Request to return more than one unique. Even if you give up Lingard.
I take responsibility.
-Iroha Dead Heart-


'... It's twisted.'

Underground clicked his tongue.
According to the information obtained from the pirate empress, the artificial uniques Epic created, the Quadruple, were already active inside the Warris.
This is itself, the Underground Road made its own predictions.

The problem was that the underground couldn't go back right away.
Because Mayan, which is needed for teleportation, is right in front of her eyes.

'The only thing I can teleport to is the woman I'm holding... He's in another city.'

Iroha knows about underground teleportation, but probably doesn't know the specific mechanism.
In Iroha's judgment, this urgent news was believable, but she had to be quick on her feet and have some fighting skills.

As a result, Mayan was chosen, but things went wrong in her underground position.

"Did Iroha say anything else?"
"Oh, she said she could come back after a one-night stand."
"Then you have more room than you think..."

It meant that Iroha was somehow keeping the quadruple in check by reinforcing her guard.
Although not revealed in history, Iroha was also present when the Legends changed the world with Regalia.

'Still, the Quadruple doesn't seem to be active. Do I have to assume that there was an order from Epic...'

The story of giving up the Lingard and returning it means that the situation will explode sooner or later.

"Okay, then return to Warris. With me..."

Underground rose from a chair.

"Narsha, and you return to Warris. Enlil and Pyran take care of the Lingard before and after and keep the defense line."
"All right. Then there..."
"I have to prepare to leave soon. I can't see Enlil's face."

Iroha was also important from the point of view of the underground. Thanks to her intelligence, the war against Blue Seal was easy, and her ability was needed to complete Regalia.
Even if he collected all the pieces of Regalia and fragments of the Orb, Iroha had to restore them before he could use them.
Maybe that's why Epic wants her.

"..."

Unaware of the situation, Mayan's face became sullen.
Jiha laughed at the sight of her dog's ears and tail drooping.

"Or do you want to stay here?"
"What are you saying! If you do, the young lady will give you a bad order!"

Mayan vigorously shook her head. I want to see Enlil's face, but the order of the underground takes precedence.
Enlil had told you to do so, and...

Click.

Then the door opened and Pyran came out again.

"There will be enough time to see Enlil's face. Because she said she would arrive this afternoon."
"The situation is urgent."
"Then you can go first and Mayan can leave a little later. The fight that continues to intensify in the future, you may not see it again."

Pyran said anxiously.
Losing Louchen, she was speaking the truth.
However, Mayan was straight.

"Why is that traitor dressed like that?"
"..."

Pyran was now wearing only an underground coat. In addition, seeing her coming out of the next room and strangely treating her underground in a friendly way, Mayan was frowning arrogantly.
These two, who were each super rare, did not get along well with each other. To be precise, Mayan unilaterally disliked it, and Pyran also had a bad temper.

Mayan said coldly.

"Master, I dare not say anything, but she is not that woman. A ghost that turned its back on its owner once, it might turn its back on you again."
"That's right."

When Pyran, her party, acknowledged it, she shot Mayan's eyes wide.
Pyran laughed bitterly.

"Everything you say is right. Even if I am called a traitor, I have nothing to say. I changed ships not once, but twice. I have my circumstances too, but it won't matter to others."
"..."
"He who fights proves his sincerity with his sword. You'll find out where my sword leads if you keep watching. So you can gossip about it now."

When Pyran calmly accepted it, Mayan also softened her attitude.

"... Having said that, I won't say any more. However, if you betray Jiha, I will risk my life to punish you."
"Okay."
"... That's right, Mr. Underground. I'll risk my life to guarantee it, so won't you trust her?"

She was curious about the basement as she listened to the conversation going on.
Didn't Mayan hate Pyran?

"Why do you vouch for it?"
"It was the same super rare, so if you want to repent, you have to help. I will continue to keep a watchful eye on you."

Mayan seemed to be speaking aggressively, but she was secretly defending Pyran.
It seemed that she felt a sense of kinship with Pyran in that she was chosen by a unique woman of the same super rare race and a different race.
So it seems that Pyran was particularly resentful of the conversion and reacted sharply.

'Is it the same dog...'

Jiha was thinking, but Mayan changed the topic.

"Anyway, I understand, Pyran Amout. What's that outfit? Dress modestly."
"The basement tore it all up yesterday."
"... All right. I will prepare."

Mayan let out a sigh of relief from her and she made a sound like a maid.
She got up from her seat in the basement and tried to leave, but hesitated.
Come to think of it, I was in the process of post-war recovery.

‘... As long as I show up, if I disappear the very next day, the morale of the soldiers may plummet. It's a draw against the Pirate Empress, but it's easy to regard soldiers who lost their comrades as losing.'

3,000 damage to the Red Union army? It is estimated that over 8,000 deaths were lost in the army of death.
Jiha directly led it, and Narsha and Pyran were there, so it was a natural result.

It was a great victory in normal battles, but the soldiers didn't feel that way.
Because the forces of death never end no matter how many times you kill them.
Some delicate care was required.

"Did Iroha say that I could sleep for a day and come back?"

The morale of the soldiers would be maintained only when the basement watched the post-war finish and then left.
Mayan nodded.

"Ah, come to think of it, he told me to say this if the lady or someone else objected. I will definitely listen He told me to convey this verbally."
"What?"
"This is something I learned while researching Sirell."

Mayan said again and again.

"It is said that Purple is targeting Sirell."


Unexpected story.
But it won't be bullshit.
